New Recipes

Shanghai Ding, Penang

If you are in Penang and haven’t checked out Shanghai Ding (上海鼎), do pay it a visit. (You can read my previous review here.) If you have tried it and haven’t been there lately, they have expanded their menu with new dishes such as the Shanghainese specialities Dongbo Rou (braised pork stomach/东波肉), vinegar pork ribs, etc…

Hi. I have been reading you blog for ages and really love it. I live in Australia…love Malaysian food…and find it great to see such food from the source.

I have been trying to understand the technique to cook Asian style Red Vinegar Ribs for so long. It is very hard to find authentic Asian recipes on the Web. Is there any chance of sharing such a recipe?

I’m actually a regular at your blog as I love your wonderful pics and recipes! I just knew about the new Shanghai Ding at New World Park. Looking forward to try the durian pancake I saw on their flyer menu ;)

KM – hehe, I was intrigued by the heart-shaped fried rice, too. It was very cute, and called QQ fried rice. Yeah, the braised pork stomach was very good.

New Kid on the Blog – yes, you can ask for the boss and tell him or her that you are a friend of Rasa Malaysia and ask for the special one-time VIP discount. :)

Andaliman – I couldn’t resist either. ;)

S – Unfortunately I don’t know how to make them…sorry.

Christine – thanks. :)

MyF – yes, it was raining so some shots were pixelated and I didn’t bring any lighting tool with me because I was traveling…I actually like the banana leave as the background…it perks it up…I have one without the banana leaves and it was kinda boring.

Mandy – thanks. I did…that’s the great perk about doing food photography…I get to eat all the food, wahahahah.

Hi RM, these shots are GORGEOUS ! I’ve never been to Shanghai Ding but will keep it in mind when I’m in Penang next. How can I resist after looking at all this beautiful yummy dishes??! Yeah, I know what you mean about taking pics with natural light, its great, but sometimes when the weather is not at it’s best the light can shift very quickly and it can be a real bummer when you’re pressed for time.I love your new profile pic – that’s a lovely smile. You’ve brushed really well I can tell, but where’s the rest of your face? It’s not that we don’t know how you look already? HA!HA!Oh, one more thing, Congrats on the cooking class alliance with Jaden – it’s great, wish I was there. I know I’d have a ball of a time! Good Luck!

I just came back from Shanghai Ding, the food is not bad. But when I asked about the special one time “VIP Discount” as mentioned by RasaMalaysia (telling them we are a friend) they refused lol. Talk about embarassment, when the boss looked at me at one kind. According to her their price is already at special rate -_-
